Hockey Dime Lines Provide a Whole New Means of Making Money Betting Sports Online

For the first time in the 14-year history of the company, BetOnline is unleashing industry-best 10-cent juice for both NHL money-lines and Totals.  Also known as “reduced juice” or “dime lines,” simply put, 10-cent juice means better odds and more money in the bettor’s pockets.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Flip Flopping on Sports Betting

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has refused to come forward and endorse legalized sports betting in the state.  Residents of the state will be able to vote to allow legalized sports betting on Election Day November 8.

Could Christie’s reluctance have something to do with the state playing host to an upcoming Super Bowl?

The National Football League has long opposed legalized sports betting. 

A previous bill was given the last minute heave ho by Christie back in March.  State Senator Raymond Lesniak reintroduced his measure last month.

Bookies See Heavy Lopsided Betting Action for NFL Week 1 2011

The bookies were seeing a few 2011 Week 1 NFL games getting heavy lopsided betting action.  For these games, the bookies will be rooting for the underdog….or maybe not. 

In the case of the Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game, bookies will be rooting for the favorite, Baltimore, at -1.5 odds.  That’s because the Steelers were getting around 85 percent of the spread action. 

Likewise, Detroit was also a 1.5 underdog in Tampa and they, too, were seeing between 80 percent and 85 percent betting action on the spread.

But those are all declared candidates for the presidency.
